Arshad Nadeem made history by winning Pakistan’s first Olympic gold medal in track and field at the Paris Summer Olympics.
Despite this significant achievement and receiving substantial rewards, his net worth remains under Rs 10 million.
In contrast, Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra, who won a silver medal, has a net worth of around Rs 37 crore, supported by his sports earnings, endorsements, and military position.
This contrast highlights the differences in financial support for athletes in India and Pakistan, but both remain national icons who inspire many with their success.
